Davidson College Commencement
EDITOR MARLBORO DEMOCRAT:

ST.. hIOSN 81. ..U.
The ''scmi centennial" at Davidson
College, N. c., takes place June 18th
10Th and 10th, next. Unusual pren.
aration is being made now to celebrate
with proper and imposing ceremony
the iiftieth year Of tho useful career
OF davidson College. The commence.
mcnt of 1887 ought to be looked for
ward to with unusual interest by all
those who have felt and seen the
happy influences, both religious and
literary, which this honored institution
Of the South has had on her people.
Only fifty years Of her life have passed
away, yet many are the worthy sons
who have gone from her fostering care
during this period, and have honorcd
her namc wherever they have been
called by their fidelity to truth and
right. Is it nottime now for thom all
to be gathered back to their Alma
Mater in II grand reunion, to ccle-
bratc the achievements Of the past and
to stimulate all to still greater achieve
ments in the future? Let all The sons
OF this beloved institution return here
next June to do her honor and x
change fratcrnal greetings with com
p~anions long separated. Many Of our
esteemed comrades cannot return to
greet us here it is true, for some Of
them have long since passed away and
are waiting to greet us on n happier
shore. They have, we hope, joined
that grand assembly where there will
be no more parting. But is it not
right that We should meet here and
enjoy this occasion, even if we cannot
have all u companions with us?
Besides, the exchange of many hearty
greetings with those present, it will
call up many happy scenes we have
had with those who cannot meet with
us, many pleasant rccollections Of the
past. Let all who feel an interest in
the cause which Davidson College is
striving to advancc meet here and help
celebrate this occasion. And let the
commencement Of June 1887 he one
long to be remembered in the history
Of Davidson College.

The Wrong PrinciMe Applied at
Gettysburg.


1t is to be regretted that the Gettys-
burg Battlefield Memorial Association
did not see proper to permit the sur
vivors of Pickett's division to locate
their monument at the most advanced
point gained in their memorable
charge. The monument was designed
TO mark great achievement, that
achievement being the penetration of
the Federal line and the capture for o
time at least of the Federal position.
1t was not designed, of course, to mark
the position occupied by the division
before the charge began. Such loca-
ton would have been without signif-
canoe. The interest of charge must lie
in its end, not in its beginning. The
monuments erected by the Federal
divisions may with propriety be placed
on the lines they occupied while being
charged by the Confederates, it being
their task TO hold their ground; but to
the charging columns a different prin-
ciple must obviously be applied. The
latter can have no motive for erecting
monuments to mark their respective
starting points. The Maryland Con-
felerate regiment was perhaps con-
strained by the association, con.
formally to the principle appli-
cable to Federal commands, TO
locate its monument upon the
position on Culp's Hill occupied
instead of upon the position far in ad-
vance gained in its famous charge, but
il goes without saying that such a loca-
ton is unsatisfactory. The association |
wished the survivors OF Pickett's divi- |
sion TO place their monument on Semi |
nary Ridge; the latter wished TO have |
it at the point within the Federal line
where General Armistead fell. The
decided that il they must
place their memorial where they started, |
they would go further back than Semi
nary Ridge, and locateita Richmond at
once. A sentiment being involved, the
Battlefield Memorial Association ought
10 consider with what motive any Con.
federate organization could reasonably
desire 70 add a monument TO those
already at Gettysburg.

a Correction.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
l see from your paper Of the Sth that
it is assumed that the bonds and interest
due from Virginia to the United States,
amounting noW to nearly Sl,510, 10
(instead of 81 $40, 100, is a settled mat
ter. This is not so. 1t is true the two
committees of the Senate and House, at
the late session of Congress, did unani-
mously recognize as just and voted the
claims of Virginia to a much larger
amount but until Congress acts these
claims, bonds and interest, must stand
as a debt due from Virginia. Why
said bills were not passed the I'd March
last is fully explained by the agent of
Virginia in his official report made to
the Senate on the I'd August of the
present session, and by it referred toits
Finance Committee. Strange as it
may seem, this report on SO important
a understanding upwards OF SO, no.
600 to the State-has not been acted on
or even printed. j. A. PARKER,

creditors have for the most part per-
sistently preferred to accept assumed
rather than real knowledge.

That paragraph Of the New York
Constitution which has been comment.
ed upon so much during the last twelve
months by the press of that State was
copied by the UNDERWOOD Convention
and made part of the Virginia Con-
stitution. II Is as follows:
cat the general election to be held
in the year 1866 and in each twentieth
year thereafter, and also at such time
as the Legislature may by law provide,
the question, Shall there be conveu-
ton to revise the Constitution and
amend the same p shall be decided by
the electors qualified TO vote for mem.
bers of the Legislature and in case q
majority of the electors so qualified
voting at such election shall decide in
favor of a convention for such purpose,
the Legislature at its next session shall
provide by law for the election of dele
gates TO such convention.
The only difference that is no
difference, if We may make an Irish
BULLS the one of the words General
Assembly" in the Virginia Constitu-
ton where the word Legislature e"
occurs in the New York Contitution,
and the date 1883" instead of
1885,"

Would Better Post Themselves.
The San Francisco CdH saws:


"The statement in a morning con-
temporary that suit had been brought
In the Federal courts to compel Vir-
ginia 10 pay her debt is misleading 1t
will be news to the creditors Of other
American States which have from time
10 time defaulted in their payment OF
debts"
Misleading truly, but not surprising
The "morning contemporary referred
TO by the cal is not much further out
of the way than we find most OF the
northern and western papers when they
attempt to deal with the Virginia debt
question. Even tile can, though show
ing that the eleventh article of
the amendment TO the Constitution
bars making a State pay her
debt proves elsewhere that it
inisapprehends the situation here,
while the usually well-posted Boston
Herald had yesterday an article which
manifested ignorance of the whole debt
matter. Had the fair minded among
our northern and western contempora-
ries taken thetrouble to post themselves
touching our debt problem, Virginia
would have been spared good deal OF
odium that has been unjustly put upon
her, and the old State would have got
ten what she has never had-a fair trial
at the bar OF public opinion. We be.
iieye that northern Misrepresentation
and misstatements, intentional and nm.

responsible in large measure for the
manner in which Virginia has been
treated by her creditors. The north
